Cilan Takes Flight!

Ash is surprised to see a long line of Trainers waiting to
challenge Skyla, the Mistralton City Gym Leader, and is even more surprised
when he’s told he has to make an appointment for their battle! He learns that
Skyla has a passion for flying, and to make sure she has enough time to pursue
her hobby, she keeps a very tight schedule at her Gym.

And that’s not the only unusual thing about Skyla’s style!
As our heroes watch the morning challenges, they learn how Skyla can fit so
many battles into a single day: they’re not physical battles, but something she
calls "Air Battles," which take place only in her mind! Skyla envisions the
outcome of each battle, and within moments, the winners and losers are decided
without actually battling.

This infuriates Cilan, who challenges Skyla, Gym Leader to
Gym Leader, in an effort to show her what Gym battles should be. She accepts...and wins, much to Cilan’s dismay!

Skyla decides that’s enough for one day, and cancels all her
afternoon battles. She’s about to leave when Ash runs up and challenges her, saying
that her Air Battles are boring and that Trainers and their Pokémon have to
battle for real. Skyla looks over Ash’s Pokémon and declares that she’d beat
him easily, so there’s no point in battling, but Ash insists that she has to
give him a chance! Can he convince her to battle him for real?
